Toyota Agya – export begins to the Philippines

Toyota and Daihatsu have announced the start of exports of the Toyota Agya from Indonesia to the Philippines, with sales planned to begin at the end of this month.

The five-door hatch, produced by Daihatsu’s Indonesian subsidiary, PT Astra Daihatsu Motor, will be sold in the Philippines under the Toyota brand. Initial export volume is planned at approximately 500 units a month.

The Agya and Ayla are powered by a 997 cc three-cylinder engine, coded the 1KR-FE for the Agya and D26F-1KR-DE for the Ayla. The aluminium-block unit, which weighs 69 kg, is good for 65 hp at 6,000 rpm and 87 Nm of twist at 3,600 rpm. Drivetrain choices for the Indonesian market are a five-speed manual and a four-speed auto – no details as to what the Philippines will be getting.

Anthony Lim believes that nothing is better than a good smoke and a car with character, with good handling aspects being top of the prize heap. Having spent more than a decade and a half with an English tabloid daily never being able to grasp the meaning of brevity or being succinct, he wags his tail furiously at the idea of waffling - in greater detail - about cars and all their intrinsic peculiarities here.

They cannot re-badge this model as in the original form. The local engineers must also have input to the research and development of the bumper and grills and head lights. Mark my words, the Malaysian version will have same body but slightly different looking front and rear.

Perodua will be using this engine in the soonest time. they said not viva replacement…i think a new car but viva will remain 660 and 850. the number might be low..but this engine already won best engine of the year (07,08,09,10) for sub 1.0L category.
